Contraption for the Production of Cultural Confections

Commissioned for the Guggenheim Museum’s 50th anniversary exhibition, this proposal imagines Frank Lloyd Wright’s rotunda repurposed as an industrial assembly line for transforming raw sugar cane into candy. Recognizing the building’s sequence of interconnected ramps and galleries as an ideal manufacturing circuit, the design reframes the museum’s cultural production as a literal one, with visitors moving through the space as both audience and witness to the process.
